If Game of Thrones is your go-to HBO show for gratuitous and often disturbing on-screen nudity, then Vinyl (reviewed here!) is where you'll want to go to satisfy your insatiable and frankly kind of weird need to hear four-letter words.

Just how many fucks did the series' two-hour premiere, directed by Martin Scorsese, give? We tuned in on Sunday and wrote down, as best we could, every time belligerent '70s record exec Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale) and others unleashed F-bombs, and our ears were positively burning by the end. Scan through the list below and then go practice on your friends!

Disclaimer: We couldn't count all the semi-audible background "fucks." There were just too many.

1. Richie: "I’m not a narc, I just want an 8 ball. Nah, fuck it, make it a quarter."

2. Richie: "Do I look like a fucking Wall Street man?"

3-4. Richie: "What are you, fucking writing a book? Get the fuck out of here."

5-6. Richie: "Skip Fontaine, head of sales with his magic mustache. I hate that fucking thing. All those records the stores send back to us for a full fucking refund? Skip made them disappear."

7. Richie: "So this is my story, clouded by lost brain cells, self-aggrandizement, and maybe a little bullshit, but how could it not be, this fucking life?"

8. Richie: "Let me just put the record on, drop the needle, and crank up the fucking volume."

41-42. Richie: "You apologize your ass off for trying to fuck them over... then give them the 20% and close the fucking deal."

43. Richie: "Jesus, it's a fucking parking lot."

44. Richie: "Fuck it, take me to the apartment."

45. Lester's acquaintance: "What's it to you, motherfucker?"

46 - 49: Peter Grant: "You fucking bridge troll, my father lost a leg to those Nazi bastards. My gran has got a piece of shrapnel stuck in her ass from a Nazi fucking bomb. So there's no scenario in this bloody Earth where my band...[a] fucking British band is going to be sold out to a bunch of goose-stepping fucking huns."

50. Richie: "Not only do you not handle it, but you tell their fucking manager about the deal with the Germans?"

51. Richie: "I'm going to fucking [inaudible]."

52-54. Zak: "It's too late. They fucked us, we got fucked... they had it in the fucking deal."

55-57. Skip: "We're totally fucking fucked. Fuck!"

58-59. Zak: "Over Donny fucking Osmond? He's a fucking maniac."

60. Skip: "It'll spread like a fucking leukemia."

61-62. Richie: "Inflate the fuck out of the sales numbers, I'll go lean on fucking A&R."

63. Richie: "You go to the emergency room, see if they can get your head out of your fucking ass."

87-89. Buck: "The next day, in the papers, on television, this scumbag, this cocksucker in his heart, is at some country fucking fair, with a big smile, with fucking cows in the background and a fucking Ferris wheel and a big tall jerk-off guy."

90. Joe: "You of all fucking people, you don’t know how unreliable these people are."

91-93. Joe: "Buck, how can we put this fucking thing behind us?... You know what the fuck I do... I'm a promoter, I'm a facilitator, that's what I do fucking best, you know that."
